Fire‐released seed dormancy‐a global synthesis
Seed dormancy varies greatly between species, clades, communities, and regions. We
propose that fireprone ecosystems create ideal conditions for the selection of seed …

Fire and summer temperatures interact to shape seed dormancy thresholds
Abstract Background and Aims In Mediterranean ecosystems, the heat shock of wildfire
disrupts physical seed dormancy in many plant species. This triggers germination in the post …

How does gut passage impact endozoochorous seed dispersal success? Evidence from a gut environment simulation experiment
T Milotić, M Hoffmann - Basic and Applied Ecology, 2016 - Elsevier
Endozoochory of temperate grassland species is a widespread phenomenon and may
accelerate and/or increase germination in some plant species. However, the mechanisms …

Seed size-mediated dormancy thresholds: a case for the selective pressure of fire on physically dormant species
GS Liyanage, MKJ Ooi - Biological Journal of the Linnean …, 2018 - academic.oup.com
In physically dormant species, fire-generated heat breaks seed dormancy, with dormancy-
breaking temperature thresholds varying among species. Fire-related heating decreases …

Fire-related germination and early seedling growth in 21 herbaceous species in Central Anatolian steppe
The role of fire in shaping plant traits in crown fire ecosystems is well understood, but little
attention has been given to surface fire ecosystems. We studied the effect of fire-related cues …
